Knopfler Mark: Tracker (2015) - CD

Mark Knopfler is without a doubt one of the most successful British musicians. With his home band Dire Straits, he established himself among the top musicians in the 1970s, but for the last two decades he has been fully focused on his solo career. He has already prepared his eighth record for March this year.

Mark called his novelty Tracker and will release it on March 13. The songs for this album were created over several years, and Knopfler himself adds that it is a record with the result of which he is most satisfied throughout his solo career. He produced the novelty himself, his longtime friend and also a former member of Dire Straits - Guy Fletcher - assisted him. He also belonged to the group of musicians with whom Mark recorded the album at London' s British Grove Studios.

The Tracker collection will contain eleven songs in the basic version, but there will also be a deluxe edition with four extra bonuses. Rock fans will certainly be looking in the stores for a special box reading a CD, another bonus disc, a DVD with exclusive material from the shooting, vinyl and several other gifts, including art photographs.

Mark Knopfler is one of those who often presents their recordings on concert stages. Even after the release of the album Tracker, he will make no exception, and in mid-May he will embark on a several-month world tour with a performance in Dublin, during which he will play an incredible eighty-five concerts around the world. Whether the Czech Republic, where it has a very strong base of loyal fans, will be included in its list will be seen in the coming weeks.

With the new Tracker, Mark Knopfler confirms that he is in great musical and creative form even at the age of 65 and is rightly considered one of the great British rock legends. With his new album, he could perhaps not have been able to build on the success of previous solo albums, which in the vast majority have also become a bestseller in the Czech Republic.
